Yankees v. Marlins - Sunday, June 25, 2006

These pictures are LONG overdue. And because Blogger is such a pain in my ass about pictures lately, here they are in no less than FIVE installments.


Yay! I love Yankee Stadium. It's kind of a shame that they'll be tearing it down.

There are lots of fans in the streets.

And lots of vendors on the sidewalks.

Here is a super-flattering picture of some Yankee fans you might know.

Alas, the tarp is on the field because it's been pouring all day.

But it stops raining as soon as we get inside the stadium! And off comes the tarp! Weeeee!

Look at that lovely diamond.

Yankees v. Marlins - Part II

A-Rod gets stretched before the game. Fruity.

Johnny, Melky and Bernie have a chat before the game.

Jeter plays catch.

Jeter and Bernie warm up.

Cano, A-Rod and Melky walk the walk.

We're just about ready to get started!

Melky, Johnny and Bernie line up for the anthem.

A-Rod, Jeter and Cano doff their hats, too.

And there is Jorge in the middle.

Yankees v. Marlins - Here We Go Again

The fans are ready to see some baseball!

Mike Mussina - or 'Moose' as we affectionately refer to him - throws the first pitch. FYI, that white thing in front of him is not the ball. The ball is still in his hand. That white thing in front of him is garbage. I mean, it's the Bronx.

After a quick top of the first inning, Johnny Damon leads off and hustles down the first baseline in the bottom.

Then Jeter is at the plate.

He gets a hit and turns in his batting glove at first base.

A-Rod at the plate. I don't remember what he did here, but it probably wasn't much.

Jorge is getting ready for a big cut at the ball.

But he's out at first.

Melky at the plate.

Yankees v. Marlins - Continued

Bases full of Yankees! Although I don't think we got a run out of that.

Ah, beautiful beer man. Come my way!

Mooooooooooose! I love when the whole stadium does that.

Strike three! You're out!

Seventh inning stretch - must we continue to listen to God Bless American?

Bernie throws the ball in from right field (where Sheff should be).

Conference on the mound.

Conference over - now they'll take care of business!

Jeter gets ready to field the ball for an out.

Yankees v. Marlins - Final Edition

Enter Sandman! The party is over, Marlins. Mo is on the mound.

And that's your last out, boys.

Good job, Mo! Good job, Jorge!

Good job, Damon, A-Rod, Cano, Melky, and Jeter!

And here comes the bullpen.

That's all she wrote. Yankees win 2-1.

Board Star

My brother Forrest is a real snowboarding guru.

Here he is showing off in Aspen.

And there he goes again.

Connetquot River State Park

Here we go!

Shhh! There are no bikes allowed.

But come on! I obviously need some exercise.

We find a lovely bridge at the head of the river.

I am such an artist!

There are lots of trout in the water.

And the biggest gull I've ever seen in my life is trying to eat them. Naughty, gull!

The water is freeeeeezing!

We only see one deer, and it takes off pretty fast.

Then we get busted! Damn! Well, it was fun while it lasted.
